Abstract :
A modified comb-type slow-wave structure (s.w.s.) for travelling-wave masers is discussed. The dispersion relation is expressed in terms of the s.w.s. geometry and the admittances of coupled striplines. The slowing factor and the volume-filling factor, important parameters for travelling-wave masers, are discussed.
